Mickey Rourke’s BAFTA Speech
Probably the highlight of last night’s BAFTAs was Mickey Rourke’s acceptance speech.
The Wrestler is a new film about an ageing wrestler – Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson (Mickey Rourke) – past his prime, who struggles to make ends meet doing shows on the weekends in New Jersey.
The story follows him as he works in a deli, strikes up a relationship with a stripper named Cassidy (Marisa Tomei) and seeks a reconciliation with his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood).
I spoke with the director Darren Aronofsky and Mickey Rourke back in October when the film played at the London Film Festival.
